I've always loved and wanted a VW Vanagon. Unfortunantly I don't want an unstable, underpowered vehicle so I doubt I'll purchase one. That said, I'm considering a pop-up camper trailer but I just stumbled across an opprotunity to purchase the pop-top from a vanagon. This gave me the idea to mount the pop-up on a volvo 240 wagon. I have added a pohotoshoped image of what it might look like and I think it could work. I did some rough measurements and is should fit on the roof of a 240 wagon.

I would like some feedback to see if anyone thinks it is realistic or if it would require too muck modification. I can see that some body modification would be required to make the access opening and also to mount the unit. Does anyone think this would greatly reduce the bodys rigidity or saftey? My vision of this conversion would have the rear seat removed and covered over to create more open space for seating and/or possibily a small camping stove.

Also, what year 240 would you choose to do this conversion to and why?

Thanks,
a
